Pollard, however, is still not fit enough to return to action following a knee problem.

From the squad that played in New Zealand, Tino Best, Johnson Charles, Narsingh Deonarine, Jason Holder, Nikita Miller, Kieran Powell and Chadwick Walton all miss out.

As well as Gayle and Sammy coming into the side, Marlon Samuels returns, Dwayne Smith is recalled and left-arm seamer Krishmar Santokie is also called up, having played the last of his two Twenty20 Internationals in 2012.
